The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Book Review

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz - L. Frank Baum

I have to say I definitely love the movie more. Maybe because the movie is such a well known and favorite of everyone's? The book is definitely well written, obviously, but I liked the changes in the movie more. 

 

Dorothy finds herself in the world of Oz after a cyclone hits her home in Kansas. She is told to follow the yellow brick road to find the Wizard Oz in order to get back home. Along the way she meets The Lion, The Tin Man, and The Scarecrow. A true and magical journey awaits Dorothy as she must figure out who is good and who is evil. 

 

This ended very abruptly for me. While I knew how it was going to end (obviously) I still was hoping for a bit more. The pictures make the story feel more alive. I definitely recommend you read the book if you haven't.
